WHY AT TEND?There are huge business and investment opportunities in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. But even the boldest ideas and most inspiring partnerships are struggling to move beyond the pilot phase - to scale the impact of their strategies. Why is this and what can you do differently?

Our annual summit brings together business executives, governments, and investors to share practical ideas, tools and approaches to business strategies that help solve some of the world’s most pressing needs - sustainably and profitably. We’ll explore the challenges organisations face implementing these business plans and how to overcome them, moving large-scale projects from strategy to pilot to execution at scale.

7:30-8:30am Registration & Breakfast

 

8:30-8:45am Welcome Remarks

Welcome to the Positive Impact Summit! Join our MC as they introduce the day

and the kind of big-picture, inspired thinking required to really take on the world’s

biggest challenges. What can we truly accomplish and why does it matter, both for

our own organisations and the ecosystems in which we operate?

8:45-9:45am Keynote: Impact at Scale

There is wide agreement that fully engaging private business and capital

is critical to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and to the

sustainable growth needed to address poverty, inequality and climate change. While

many companies and investors have made ambitious commitments to social impact,

most have found it difficult to integrate their CSR and sustainability initiatives into

their core business strategies, attract investors and capital, and achieve real impact

at scale. Harvard Business Professor and celebrated author Dr. George Serafeim

introduces the concept of Inclusive Growth, and discusses how companies can

rethink their roles as buyers, suppliers of goods and services, and employers by co-

creating strategies that drive both commercial and social impact.

9:45-10:45am INCLUSIVE GROWTH PRINCIPLE: BE BOLD WITH BREAKTHROUGH

SOLUTIONS

9:45-10:30am Panel: Pathways to Breakthrough Ideas

While many development and sustainability projects struggle to survive after their

initial funding runs out, some organizations have been trying new approaches. A

diverse panel of experts from the private sector, government, and the world of impact

investing discuss their unique approaches to identifying, structuring and incubating

transformative solutions that create many times greater economic and social value

in pursuit of inclusive outcomes.

10:30-10:45am Success Story: Ideas at Scale

How can we identify the right opportunities to create the most value and impact? It

takes bold thinking and inspired leadership. In this short video followed by Q&A, we

take a look at how an underperforming business ecosystem was transformed with a

new focus on achieving measureable outcomes.

10:45-11:00am Break

 

11:00-12:00PM INCLUSIVE GROWTH PRINCIPLE: CO-CREATE COLLABORATIVE BUSINESS

MODELS

11:00-11:45am Panel: Better Better Business Models through Collaboration

One of the key innovations required for Inclusive Growth at scale involves

determining who within an ecosystem needs to be included and how this can be

structured for long term mutual benefit. This panel explores the pros and cons of

pre-competitive alliances, public private partnerships, special purpose vehicles,

incubation of social enterprises, and other organizational models. Panellists weigh

in with their unique perspectives on what it takes to engage all key actors in the

ecosystem, while also ensuring a structure that can endure beyond initial donor or

grant funding.

11:45-12:00pm Success Story: Partnerships at Scale

What does a collaborative business model actually look like? In this short video

followed by Q&A, we explore the realities of designing a new model in a new or

existing ecosystem.

AGENDA

1:00-2:15pm INCLUSIVE GROWTH PRINCIPLE: UNLOCK CAPITAL

1:00-1:45pm Panel: Financing Inclusive Growth

Financing is readily available for proven approaches, while the most difficult

financing to raise is the first $500K. How can this gap be addressed? And how can

access to finance be scaled to include those thousands who require technology,

health, and education services, and to achieve societal outcomes with low

business returns?

1:45-2:15pm Interview: Unlocking the Potential of Technology

Connecting small scale and start-up entrepreneurs to markets, know-how and

capital is something with which the technology sector is familiar. We hear from a

leader in this space about the lessons that we can apply to our own development

and inclusive growth programs.

2:15-4:00pm INCLUSIVE GROWTH PRINCIPLE: ALIGN & GOVERN

2:15-3:00pm Panel: Governance in the Execution of Inclusive Growth Strategies

Even with your bold idea, collaborative business model, and capital in place,

scaling your impact requires ongoing alignment and deliberate governance.

We’ll hear from experts on the specific obstacles they faced and the practical

frameworks, tools, and strategies they executed to align stakeholders, build trust,

and execute their inclusive growth strategies.

3:00-3:15pm Success Story: Governance at Scale

This short video followed by Q&A demonstrates the importance of inclusive

governance and transparency, and information sharing around results.

3:15-3:30pm Break

 

3:30-4:00pm Interview: How can Measurement better drive investment for Impact

1 in every 4 dollars invested in the United States is in impact-driven solutions. In

this interview, we’ll examine approaches to measurement that can allow investors

to better compare different investment opportunities as well as corporate

performance.

4:00-5:30pm WHAT’S NEXT?

4:00-5:00pm Open Forum: What’s Your Challenge?

turn to take the stage. Tell us about a challenge you’re facing when attempting

to scale the impact of your projects, and ask your fellow attendees for thoughts,

perspectives, and advice. Leverage the collective insights of this room of experts!
